    The problem for Democrats is that there have long been a few who are bought off, so it takes more than a bare majority to do it.

    Exactly why it’s important to get out and vote blue.

    Are they perfect? Absolutely not. And Manchin/Sinema did some heavy lifting in disenfranchising voters to think the Dems are useless.

    But when 95% of the party is in line, but fails to get the majority because of two assholes, the answer isn’t to abandon the party, it’s to vote more in so that the two assholes don’t have the ability to derail the train by themselves.

    At lleast, when the alternative is to hand the keys over to a party actively trying to destroy the country for their own selfish gain. And they aren’t even being subtle about it.
